There are things we keep in boxes like hearts and wounds and words There are things we keep in boxes like feelings and failures and dreams There are things we keep in boxes like what he should be and who she is And I have told things to these boxes like I love you and I miss you and goodbye See I hold things in these boxes filled with shame and trust and joy And I have left things in these boxes like all those things about that boy And even though they lay  in boxes most of them I can't forget But there are worlds of me in these boxes soaked in tears and some regret But I have packed these things in boxes and I have stacked these things in boxes Because if I can pack these things in boxes I can keep them safe and secret Because if I can stack these things in boxes they will keep me safe and secret Yes, there are things like me in boxes

Mimes aren't the only ones
There are things we keep in boxes like hearts and wounds and words There are things we keep in boxes like feelings and failures and dreams There are things we keep in boxes like what he should be and who she is And I have told things to these boxes like I love you and I miss you and goodbye See I hold things in these boxes filled with shame and trust and joy And I have left things in these boxes like all those things about that boy And even though they lay  in boxes most of them I can't forget But there are worlds of me in these boxes soaked in tears and some regret But I have packed these things in boxes and I have stacked these things in boxes Because if I can pack these things in boxes I can keep them safe and secret Because if I can stack these things in boxes they will keep me safe and secret Yes, there are things like me in boxes
